OTTAWA -The president of CBC and Radio-Canada signalled Tuesday that she will recommend bonuses are rolled out to executives this year, despite plans to cut 10 per cent of the national broadcaster's workforce. The additional payments to some staff are merit-based and only provided to those employees who meet certain goals, Tait said. More than 1,100 employees who are managers, executives or are compensated in certain pay bands are currently part of the incentive pay program, she said. CBC documents released under access-to-information law show more than $99 million in bonuses was awarded to employees between 2015 and 2022. Coteau noted that Tait could direct the board to reconsider its bonus structure given the new financial reality.
